Barrios and Ulises Solis both while drunk ran over people. Look at Valero and how he turned out to be.

ODLH
Ricardo Lopez
Jose Torres
JMM
Zaragoza
Emile
Foreman
Holyfield
Alexis
Gatti
Dick Tiger
Ali
Sadly I think Alexis' drug and booze issues were probably a function of him being bi-polar or something like it and self medicating. He struggled with life and his place in the world as far back as I can remember,

Nice list! I actually don't really care about guys outside the ring unless they are really, really bad guys (Monzon, Valero, Ayala Jr)

I'm glad so many recognize Emile griffith.
